Even when I try to be a dick, and work at it, ****ing that many people off in such a short spiel is not easy, and it takes a certain natural talent to make that happen. God bless that pilot--for brightening my life and so many others with a little levity, and also helping the HR departments' job security by allowing them to force us to watch many future HR online CBT training modules. Without a few pilots like us, a bunch of HR people would be out of work.
(The skywest pilot who sucks up in the end is douche, however.)

Like albief said above, I was surprised how much crap he fit into a 3 minute speech.

There is a lot more to the after story including being mercilessly harassed by a certain employee group.
